Question: Our RFP team had a clarifying question. In the pricing table of the BID the RFP
states:

"SIP Price Data -Summary Data
-Dial tone only, no data"

However, under the Technical
Requirements section, the RFP states:

RFP states under C. General
Requirements 2. Cut-over to the new circuits will be scheduled by individual
facility.

Then it states...

5. Most of the schools are connected
together through a private fiber which could be utilized as a backup
connectivity but for the primary connectivity, the district desires that each
school has its own SIP Trunk or PRI circuit wired directly into the
facility.

Can you
please verify that you are looking for the provider to provide the District new
SIP circuits and voice channels (keeping the numbers the same) and not layer
the new voice service over the District’s existing internet connections?

Answer:What we are referring to in the RFP is a distributed
connection model as opposed to a centralized access model. In response to the question, yes, vendors may
utilize existing school internet connections to deliver SIP trunk services as
long as the individual school bandwidth can provide acceptable Quality of
Service (QOS) levels.
